Travel hundreds of miles, risk your life and that of your family, try to do the right thing, just to find out that America is closed, in violation of her own laws.

This isn't really about illegal immigration to them. It's about legal forms of immigration also. Keep foreigners out, especially if Hispanic."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of dipshits on Twitter screaming about the caravan from Honduras and how they must not reach U.S. soil. Asylum is set aside, authorized, and appropriated by Congress and international treaty. Why should anybody be alarmed that folks are headed to the border to apply for asylum?"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

Originally posted by Commando View PostOh I think I get what you were referring to here-- refugees. Yes, Trump drastically capped the numbers of refugees the U.S. will accept. Refugees are basically asylees that are pre-screened by the U.N. from refugee camps somewhere in the world and sent to the U.S. after extensive U.S.-based security screening out of the list of U.N. countries that accepts refugees. Trump's an asshole.
So he threatened to seal the boarder? The guy’s crazy and what’s scarier is he often tries to do what he says.Last edited by frank ryan; 10-18-2018, 05:07 PM.

Hillary Clinton Oversaw US Arms Deals to Clinton Foundation Donors
In 2011, the State Department cleared an enormous arms deal: Led by Boeing, a consortium of American defense contractors would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns over the kingdom’s troublesome human rights record. In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Saudi Arabia had contributed $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, and just two months before the jet deal was finalized, Boeing donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to an International Business Times investigation released Tuesday.

Trump's take on the Kashoggi murder:
"They had a very bad original concept. It was carried out poorly. And the cover-up was one of the worst in the history of cover-ups. It's very simple. Bad deal. Should have never been thought of. Somebody really messed up,""The mind is not a boomerang. If you throw it too far it will not come back." ~ Tom McGuane

It's incredible that Trump's take-away is not that it was wrong to murder Kashoggi but that the Saudis planned and executed the murder badly and then covered it up badly. If we're doomed to be have a sociopath for a President, can't we at least have a self-aware sociopath?
Two years in and I am still constantly amazed at how inept he is. I can't imagine a worse president."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

No "it is unacceptable to murder a journalist?" Would it kill him to say something in furtherance of human dignity or decency? Any random poster here would honestly make a better president. Even the bots that show up from time to time. Anybody's worst gaffe on here wouldn't hold a candle to Trump's daily f*k ups. Compared to his usual fare, it would be downright charming if Trump were to accidentally post a video of a butthole being tattooed on Twitter."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"
